Adjusting the Overall Volume Using an 
Expression Pedal
You can use the expression pedal to adjust the overall volume. When you 
depress the Expression Pedal, the volume increases. The volume decreases 
as you tilt the pedal back.

Adding Decay to the Sound (Damper 
Pedal)
When you depress the Damper (Sustain) pedal, a decay effect will be added 
to the voices.
While you continue depressing the damper pedal, notes will be sustained 
even if you release the keys.
fig.04-04
By default the decay effect will be applied to the voices played on the Lower 
keyboard.

You can specify how the 
Expression Pedal will affect 
the sound when it is 
pressed (p. 163).
You can also specify 
whether the Expression 
Pedal will or will not 
control the volume during 
the recording of your 
performance (p. 162).
Likewise you can specify 
whether the Expression 
Pedal will or will not 
control the volume during 
the playback of recorded 
performance (p. 162).
You can modify the setting 
so that decay is only 
applied to notes played on 
the Upper keyboard (p. 
163).
NOTE
Decay cannot be added to 
the Solo voices.
Decay can be applied to 
Pedal Bass voices played 
on the Lower keyboard 
(when the [To Lower] or 
[Bass Split] button 
indicators are lit). In this 
case, a decay will not be 
applied to the pedal bass 
voice.
